Tax Cheat Geithner May Get the Ax

A Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) member said there's “growing consensus” among liberals that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner should step down.

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) said Wednesday that he and other liberal House members are becoming increasingly tired of Obama administration economic policies that they say are too focused on maintaining the stability of Wall Street firms and largely ignore “Main Street.”

DeFazio told MSNBC’s Ed Schultz “we may have to sacrifice just two more jobs [Geithner’s and Larry Summers’] to get millions back for Americans.”
